Don,
Both Mike & Sam are right. In Pa high school ball, though, we've been instructed that even ejected players are put on the bench. We're told that sending them to the bus or away with a school district official isn't to be done. But the coach is out of sight & sound. Now, I can't recall ever ejecting a high school player, so I don't see that as a problem area. My only restrictions were for helemt violations or something along that line.
If technical violation, restrict. If it's an ejection that somebody has asked for, make 'em happy and give 'em the ejection.
A lot of the ASA leagues around here require that an ejected player be out for the next game (maybe more), where a restricted player may play the next game. If the umps you're talking about, Don, are playing this kind of game - they're asking & demanding trouble from players.
